It’s always a joy to welcome returning families into my Queenstown studio, and this session was extra special. I had the absolute pleasure of documenting baby Clover, a sweet newborn with the most beautiful name. What made this session even more heartwarming was that her big brother, Claus, had also been in front of my camera for his own maternity, newborn, and 1st birthday sessions. Now, I had the privilege of photographing his adorable baby sister, at just a few days old.

A Family’s Journey Captured Through Every Milestone
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a newborn photographer is following families through their journeys. Having photographed Claus from the time his parents were expecting him through to his 1st birthday, it was incredible to now meet Clover and capture the next chapter in their story. Every family session tells its own unique tale. Capturing Claus gently holding Clover for a sibling shot was a moment of pure tenderness. You could see the wonder in his eyes as he cradled his baby sister, creating a memory they’ll cherish forever.

A Newborn Session Filled with Joy and Sweet Details
Baby Clover was a dream to photograph. Just a few days old, she slept peacefully as we moved through the session. Her soft, delicate features and the sweet moments of her stretching or smiling in her sleep were beautifully captured in the natural light of the studio. We used a combination of soft, neutral tones, and greens and cozy wraps to highlight her gentle innocence. Clover looked angelic wrapped in one of the studio’s softest blankets, with her tiny hands peeking out just enough for that classic newborn pose. Her peaceful expression made for some truly timeless images.

Celebrating Sibling Bonds
What makes sessions like these so special is not just capturing the beauty of a newborn, but also the connection between siblings. Claus was so proud and gentle with his baby sister. I could see how much love he had for her, and the bond between them was evident from the first shot to the last. Capturing these moments is so important for families—memories that will be cherished as they grow older. One of my favourite shots was Claus giving Clover the sweetest little kiss on her forehead. It was a perfect moment of sibling love, one that their parents will undoubtedly look back on with fondness.

Ready to Capture Your Family’s Journey?
​Whether it's your first newborn session or you’re returning for the next milestone in your family’s story, my Queenstown studio is the perfect place to capture these precious moments.

Baby Clover’s session reminded me of how quickly time flies and how important it is to document every stage.

Recently, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating Liam's 1st birthday with a classic family portrait session followed by a fun-filled cake smash. Watching Liam grow from a newborn into a big 1-year-old has been an incredible journey, and documenting this milestone was truly special.
​
The Magic of Cake Smash SessionsCake smash sessions are a delightful way to commemorate your child's first birthday.

These sessions are perfect for children aged between 11 to 13 months and consist of three engaging stages:

1. Family Portraits: We start with timeless family portraits, capturing the love and joy shared between parents and their little one. For Liam's session, the warmth and connection between him and his family were evident in every shot, creating beautiful memories to be treasured forever.
2. The Smash: Next comes the highlight of the session—the cake smash! Watching Liam dive into his cake was an absolute treat. From tentative touches to full-on cake-covered smiles, this part of the session was filled with laughter and messy fun. The pure joy and curiosity on Liam's face were priceless, making for some truly unforgettable photos.
3. Bubble Bath Finale: After the cake smash, we usually finish up with a lovely bubble bath. While we didn’t manage to get any photos of Liam in the tub this time, his cake smash session was still a fantastic experience. The bubble bath is a wonderful way to clean up and capture additional adorable moments when children enjoy it.
   
   

It has been a joy to document Liam's journey from a newborn to a big 1-year-old. Seeing him grow and capturing each milestone along the way has been incredibly rewarding. His bright eyes and infectious smile have brought so much happiness to our studio. Celebrating his first birthday with a cake smash session was the perfect way to mark this important milestone.

Cake smash sessions are not just about the photographs—they're about creating a memorable experience for your family. At Lullaby Grace Photography, we strive to make every session special, ensuring that each moment is filled with joy and laughter.

The Magic of New Life
At Lullaby Grace Photography, we recently had the honour of photographing this beautiful family of four, welcoming their newest addition into the world. The session took place in our Shotover Country studio in Queenstown, an inviting and tranquil space designed to make families feel at home. From the moment they walked in, it was clear this session would be filled with love, connection, and the magic of new beginnings.

A Warm Welcome

We believe in creating a serene environment where families can relax and simply be themselves.

We began the session by focusing on the bond between big sister and her new baby sibling. Her curiosity and gentle affection were a joy to photograph, creating candid moments full of tenderness and joy. Watching her softly touch the baby’s tiny fingers and gaze with wonder at her new sister was truly heartwarming.

Next, we turned our attention to Mum and Dad, capturing the deep love and pride they felt for their growing family. We guided them through a series of gentle poses and candid moments, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease. This mix of directed and spontaneous shots helps to create a collection of images that are both beautiful and authentic.

The Experience
Throughout the session, our goal was to make the family feel at ease and free to express their love and joy. We gently guided them, ensuring they were comfortable while allowing natural interactions to unfold. This approach, helps to capture the true essence of the family’s connection.

One of the most special moments was capturing the family together, with Mum and Dad cradling their newborn while big sister sat proudly beside them. The love and unity in these moments were palpable, creating images that the family will treasure for years to come.

Pregnancy is a uniquely beautiful time in a woman's life, filled with a blend of anticipation, joy, and profound transformation. As a Queenstown maternity photographer, I am deeply committed to capturing the essence of this journey through my lens. Every expectant mother brings her own story, her own glow, and her own set of emotions to her maternity session. These sessions are more than just photographs; they are a celebration of life, love, and the incredible journey of becoming a parent.

My approach to maternity photography is rooted in creating a serene and comfortable environment where the expectant mother can feel at ease and truly herself. It’s about documenting the intimate moments, the quiet strength, and the soft smiles that naturally emerge when she reflects on the life growing inside her. By focusing on authentic expressions and natural poses, I aim to encapsulate the beauty of pregnancy in its most genuine form.
​
These photographs serve as timeless keepsakes that tell the tale of anticipation for the new life that is about to begin. Each image is carefully crafted with a clean and classic aesthetic, ensuring that the focus remains on the emotional depth and personal story of the mother-to-be. This meticulous attention to detail and dedication to authentic storytelling through classic studio photography or set amongst beautiful Queenstown landscape allows me to create portraits that not only capture a moment in time but also resonate with warmth, beauty, and timeless elegance for years to come.
